HTML Forms in Outlook 2007?

[Rich Squid]

Hello

I am testing the beta version of Office 2007, but am having a problem
with Outlook. I have a phone logging system which emails an office
member when they make a phone call so that they can charge the call to
one of our clients.

The email that is sent out is in HTML format which includes an HTML
form with a submit button to post the contents of a textbox back to a
web server on our intranet. However, Outlook is very paranoid and
refuses to display the submit button and textbox - instead replacing it
with a text representation: [Submit]. Choosing Other Actions>View in
Browser displays the HTML form perfectly in IE.

Is there any way of telling Outlook to display the form?

Thanks for your help.

Outlook 2007 itself does not support HTML forms at all. You've already found the solution.

Thanks for the reply Sue.
Shame about that as it was so much easier to post data directly from
the email body.
